CUP HANDLE

For the handle, you’re going to do a row of ch in the cup
colour, then change to gold to do a row of dc.

Using 3mm hook
and cup colour, make 9ch, join in gold
THEN make the last ch, so you have gold on your hook ready for the next row.

Next Row - miss first ch, 1dc in next 4 ch, then 2dc in each of the next 5ch. Fasten
off

This makes the curve for the handle.

Sew the handle to the cup, then sew the cup to the saucer
around the base and attach a gold cord to hang.

Jen, as others have said you are so talented!!! These are fantastic, I would like to order some for next Christmas please ... perhaps 6...just let me know how much they would be first..lol...I mean too a "proper" price, not a "for you $$"...

Hi, it is our English/Australian dc, which if you're from the US is your sc. I always make note that it is in English/Aus terminolgy, in my patterns (it's just above the abbreviations), as it causes so much confusion with the different crochet terminologies :-) Jen xx

These are beautiful. I'd like to do them for my granddaughter's birthday in April. If I get started now, I may have a couple ready by then. Just wondering if it's possible to do the saucer first with working only into the front or back loop only on round 3, then continuing the saucer. With the saucer finished, to go back to row 3 nd and sc into the left over loop to make the cup. Then the cup would be attached with no sewing needed. Manya
